Michael “shroud” Grzesiek is one of the biggest streamers on the Twitch competitor Mixer. In a stream, he recently explained why he considers Escape from Tarkov a blessing for all shooter players.
This is the scene: Shroud is currently running solo through the end-game map “The Lab” and chatting a bit with his viewers.
He spoke about the current state of the shooter landscape and delivered a clear judgment in favor of Escape from Tarkov.
You know what’s crazy: If we didn’t have Tarkov, we would be bored to death. Everyone who plays it or watches it or whatever. If you’re interested in Tarkov, it’s like a kind of blessing.

Since other shooters currently only bore him, shroud considers Tarkov a stroke of luck for himself, but also for everyone else who has discovered EFT.
Tarkov means emotions for shroud
Why does he think this about the hardcore shooter? “shroud” then also gave a pretty clear statement about why Tarkov is currently one of the best games for him.
Right now, there really is nothing else. What should we play, what should we watch? There’s basically nothing. No game can keep people’s interest. This is the only game. And I think the only reason it does that is that there are no other games to fill that gap.

Only Escape from Tarkov manages to hold his attention and still remains interesting for him.
In his opinion, it gained recognition and popularity due to the poor performances of established shooters and can benefit greatly from its unique concept.
Why is shroud so into Tarkov? shroud has been regularly playing Escape from Tarkov for over 2.5 months and is still engaged. In another video, he once said that he is into Tarkov because of the emotions.
Not knowing what will happen next and mastering the adventures is the best part for him. The game puts you in situations that create strong pressure and excitement. He has missed having those kinds of feelings that other games apparently no longer provide.
